Schooi Directors Must Qualify Before
They Can Serve.
—
It may not be generally known
throughout the State that it is neces-
sary for a School Director to icke the
oath-of office before he can legally
servein the position to which he has
been .chosen, but it is the fact.
According to an act passed April 16th,
1891, and signed by the Governor,
every person elected to such office, in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
must take the required oath of that
office before a justice of the peace, or
any otier officer authorized to adminis-
ter oaths, and the same ‘be recorded
with the Secretary of the Board and
entered en;the minutes of the meeting, |
It is just as necessary that a School
Director-gshould affirm his intention of
maintaining the constitution as it is for
a Governor, and that the duties devolv-
ing upon might be honorably attended
to this measure was formulated and
enacted. ‘If you have not taken the
oath of office you have no right to hold
a chair on the School Board.

Why Wiii People Thus Blast the Lives
.of Others.
——~Some two weeks ago a young
girl committedsuicide, in Altoona, with-
out any apparent cause. An investi-
gation was made which proved that al-
though perfectly respectable and worthy
she was pathetically lonely. Held aloof
by that great class of people, who, un-
fortunately, can make or mar a fellow
creature’s reputation by a smile or a
frown ; simply on account of an impul-
sive and injudicious disposition, she act-
ually died for want of a word of kind-
ness. Naturally kind hearted and useful,
she became weary and discouraged by
the selfishness and thonghtlessness of
those about her and with one carefully
aimed shot ended the whole matter.
No mysterious lover lurks in the
background—and the whole affair,
lacks the sensational flavor that is so
taking with the public. The selfish and
ungrateful feelings which prompted the
family, which she had recently nursed
and tended) through a seige of diph-
theria, to leave. her die on the street,
within sight of their own home, is the
problem that should interest the pub-
lic ; and until it does? the greater social-
istic questions will never right them.
gel ves.
These narrow minded, selfish,eminent
ly proper people do not all live in Al-
toona. Every community has many
more than itneeds and while they would
feed bountifully the tramp, who begs at
their door, they refuse the man or wo-
man who bas lived on the same square
for years, simply because they don’t
balong to the same set, They will erit-
icise harshly and exaggerate the most
trifling indiscretion of a young girl,
until the world finally regards her with
suspicion and the mischief is done.
They will pray loud and long, while
perchance their own son is going to
perdition for want of a word of kind-
ness, and until these goody goody peo-
ple are willing tofbestow something be-
sides actual bread and formal theologi-
cal eystems on their fellow man, we need
not expect to be surprised and startled
by the indescribable loneliness of some
poor soul.

The Easter bonnet joke is

to a “love of a bonnet” or an artistic

of the wearer as she walks up the aisle,
that provokes the remark. And why
should it?@For surely it is every

As to the Colored Voter.
From the York Gazette.
The colored brethern in the Repub-
lican party are becoming restless.
They want something. They want an
office, or two, and they think they
ought to have recognition because they
always vote the Republican ticket.
That reasoning isn't at all, wrong only
the Republican leaders won’t recognize
it.
Herein York, now that we are to
have a Republican postmaster—though
who it will be has not yet been learned
—the colored voters want one of their
number appointed as a letter carrier.
Up in Blair county they are more
ambitious. There they demand that
Mr George Hoppar, a colored resident
of Altoona and a regular Republican
voter, shall be nominated for the legis
lature.
This is all very natural ; in fact, it is
about right that the colored Republi-
cans should be recognized. To their
votes is due entirely the fact that Penn-
sylvania is a Republican state ; hence
they are the actual pillars that uphold
such eminent leaders as Boss Quay,
John Wannamaker, Tom Cooper,Chris
Magee, John Bardsley, Thomas Me-
Camant, the Philadelphia Press, ete.
Why then shouldn’t the negro be given
a chance at least to become a letter
carrier?” It seems to us that a mere
hand shake or a pat on the shoulder
on election day is scracely a sufficient
return for the blind and useless devo-
tion of the negro to the Republican
party. .
And yet where in Pennsylvania hav
the Republicans permitted a colored
man to hold an office that was really
worth anything ?

Every Body Recovered.
The Last of the Hill Farm Victims Were Found
on Monday,
PirTsBURrG, April 12.—A Post, Dun-
bar, Pa., special says : The long search
for the remains of the twenty-nine min-
ers who were entombed in the Hill
Farm mine, on June 16, 1890, was com-
pleted this afternoon by the finding of
the last three bodies. Two bodies were
found yesterday, and, one, that of Bar-
ney Maust, was fcund a week ago, All
the bodies except that of Maust were
found in the slope beyond the fatal bore
hole, 500 feet under ground. The men
had retreated as far as they could get
and were probably the last of the twen-
ty-nine victims to succumb to the effects
of the smoke and poisonous atmos-
phere,
Maust was found within twenty-five
feet of the manhole and had evidently
made a desperate effort to escape. He
was probably the only one of the twenty
nine who atlempted to get out. The
bodies of the five others are badly de-
composed and cannot be identified. They
will be interred to-morrow. Their names
were ; Peter Reagan, Milton Turner,
Josph Bigley, Barney Maust, James
McCue and William Hayes. All were
married and had families but Hayes.

Pennsylvania Democrats in Convention
Enthusiastic Cheers for Cleveland, Pattison and
Harrity,-Senator William A. Wallace, Thomas
Collins and Senator Harry Alvan Hall, of
Elk County, to Represent This| District at the
National Convention.
HARRISBURG, April 13.—As early as
10 o'clock this morning delegates to
the Democratic convention began to
assemble in the Harrisburg opera
house. Tickets of admission were not
given out by Chairman Wright until
this morning, and there was conse-
quently much confusion. No conven-
tion held here in years has attracted
such crowded galleries. The conven-
tion was rapped to order by Chairman
Wright at 12.10, and the business was
formally begun by the reading of the
call issued on Jan. 3. The calling of
delegates occupied forty-five minutes,
many substitutions being made.
John R. Reed, of Philadelphia,
nominated Congressman Beltzhoover
for temporary chairman, and he was
elected unanimously. In his speech
he said : “It is, perhaps, invidious to
suggest any one, but I will be pardoned
for saying that tariff reform, honest
money, and frugal government are
seeking a champion in this campaign,
and that there is one who stands out
before all the world, recognized by all
men as the embodiment and exponent
of our principles, and the idol of the
Democratic masses of the nation. The
name of Grover Cleveland is enshrined
in the hearts of all theantelligent, virt.
uous, and substantial citizens of the re-
public.” The speaker closed his ad-
dress with glowing tributes to Gover-
vor Pattison and Arthur P. Gorman,
either of whom, he said, if chosen to
lead the Democratic hosts there would
be no mistake.
CLEVELAND AND PATTISON CHEERED,
Mr. Beltzhoover's references to
Grover Cieveland and Governor Patti-
son were received with cheers long con-
tinued. One individual in the gallery
shouted: “What's the matter with
Hill 27 but only groans and hisses
followed the mention of the name of
the New York Democratic leader.
The temporary organization was then
completed by the selection of the usual
committees. During the calling of
the roll by districts tor members of the
committees, nearly all the delegates
left the hall, only those interested re-
maining. The claims of Timothy
O'Leary, of Pittsburg, to membership
on the credentials committee, vere con-
tested, and a serious fight was narrow-
ly avoided. An excited crowd of dele-
gates gathered around the chair, shout-
ing for recognition: There jwas also
contests in two other western districts,
and all joined in the melee. Several
of the parties came to blows but were
separated. O'Leary, although he was
sergeant-at-arms, and supposed to pre-
serve order, fled from the hall. . 'he
contests will be settled by the commit-
tee on credentials.
Adjourned at 2 to 3.30.
THE CONVENTION RE-ASSEMBLES.
It was 4.40 o'clock before the con-
vention-reassembled, The delay was
due to the large amount of work made
necessary for the credentials commit-
tee by the numerous contests. The
meeting of the committee was held be-
hind closed doors, and itis understood
that some lively scenes were enacted.
The auti.administrationists to the num-
ber of fourteen finally left the meeting
room. This volt was precipitated by
the action of the majority in seating
O'Leary, Allegheny, as tue representa-
tive from the forty-third Senatorial
{ district, over Magistrate McKenna, a
Gufteyite, who claimed that he had
been regularly chosen, but had been
tricked by O'Leary. O'Leary was not
a regularly elected delegate, but had
been substituted in the Forty-fifth dis-
trict. He then secured the votes of
substitutes in the Forty-third district,
and was thus able at a meetin; of the
district delegates last night, to get him-
self elected a member of the credentials
committee trom the Forty-third dis-
trict, although a substituted delegate
from the Forty-fifth. The first busi-
ness before the convention was the
hearing of the report of the committee
on credentials.
ALL ADMINISTRATION DELEGATES SEATED.
The report seated all the administra-
tion delegates, ignoring the claims of
the “antis.” Senator Hall, the chair-
man, anticipating opposition to his re-
port, moved 1ts adoption, and at the
same time moved the previous question.
A howl of disapproval greeted this at-
tempt to shut ott the kickers, and Sena-
tor Hall withdrew his motion. Wil-
liam Foyle. a Bradford county dele-
gate, offered a minority report which
stated that no statement on behalf of
the contestants had beer allowed, and
therefore declaring the contested seats
vacant. Much confusion and noise
followed the preseutation of the minori-
ty report and it was difficult for the
chairman or any of tha speakers to
make themselves heard. Finally the
minority report was defeated and the
regular report adopted: Much bad
blood was engendered during the dis-
cussion and while Chairman Miller, of
the organization committee, was read-
his report, an attempt by several of the
sergeants-at-arms to eject a couple of
delegates, who were protesting too
loudly, led to a fist fight over in the
corner in which several blows were
struck and much bad language indulg-
ed in. At this point Temporary Chair-
man Beltzhoover relinquished the gav-
el to Senator Ross, the permanent chair-
man, and the later was able to enforce
much better order.
AN OVATION FOR HARRITY.
The references to Cleveland and Patti-
son were as usual cheered Jong and
heartily,but it was reserved for the men-
tion of Secretary of State Harrity’s name
to bring forth the greatest amount of en-
thusiasm. Cheer after cheer went up
for the popular leader, and Mr. Reed
was compelled to stand silent several
minutes before he could make his voice
be heard. Although many harsh things
have been said about Mr. Harrity by
those oposed to him, it was noticed that
not one hiss or hoot marred the extraor-
dinary outburst of approval of the re-
ference to him. During all the cheering
and shouting, Mr. Harrity sat among
the Philadelphia delegation with a smile
on his face.
District Attorney Garman, |
of Luzerne, offered a substitution to the |
second section of the platform, instruct-
ing Pennsylvania’s del@gates
national convention positively to vote
for Mr. Cleveland so long as his name
remains before the convention. It had
been agreed in committee, where the !
“antis” were beaten in their effort to
prevent the adoption of the unit rule,
that the fight should be brought before
the convention.
THE SUBSTITUTE DEFEATED.
Mr. O’Brien took the platform
and spoke at some length in favor of the
substitute. He said he opposed the unit
rule because the people of his distriet
and the great northwest were opposed to
it. “Pennsylvanian Democrats are in
favor of the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land,” seid he, “and they are in favor of
its delegates being bound to vote for
Cleveland so long as his name remains
before the convention. The delegates
from our district have been instructed to
vote first, last and all the time for Gro-
ver Cleveland, and we ask that the dele-
gates from this convention be instructed
to do likewise.” Mr. Reed spoke briefly
inin favor of the adoption of the plat-
form as presented from the committee.
He moved to lay Mr. Garman’s amend-
ment upon the table. Mr. Garman’s
amendment was voted down by a viva
voice vote. He then called for the yeas
and nays, but before the clerks proceeded
with the call he withdrew his motion,
and the report of the committee was
adopted.

THE CLOSING PROCEEDINGS.
In the Eighth and Thirteenth districts
the candidates have not yet been named.
In the Twenty-fifth district it was an-
nounced that seventeen ballots kad been
taken, the eighteen delegates being ev-
enly divided in their choice. In view
of the fact that there seemed to be no
hope of district delegates and an elector
being chosen it was moved that the con-
vention declare Messrs. Clendennin and
Griffith the delegates from the Twenty
fifth district. Immediately there was
an uproar. Demands for fair play,
points of order, and shouts of all sorts
filled the air. Several delegates from
the troubled district assured the conven-
tion that they would be able to settle
their difficulty in their own way in a
few days and pleaded with the conven-
tion to keep hands off.
There was not a quorum present and
threats were made that if the conven-
tion insisted upon interfering a call of
the house would be demanded. If this
threat had been carried out there is no
telling when the meeting could have
been brought to a close. Such a con-
tingency was happily averted, however,
by Mr. Hensel who said that while it
was perfectly competent for the con-
vention to name the delegates from the
Twenty-fifth district, or from any other
district, yet he did not want to see such
a small number of the delegates proceed.
He, therefors, moved that the district be
given permission to name its delegates,
with the understanding that if they
were not chosen by June Ist the state
central committee should have the pow-
er to name them. This was acceptable
to all the parties concerned,. and the
convention, after passing the usual com-
plimentary sesolutions, adjourned, sine
die at 7.30 p. m.
IT WAS EXCITING AND INTERESTING,
Old convention goers do not know a
more exciting or interesting convention
than the one of to-day. Several times it
looked as though there would certainly
be serious trouble. Much of the dis-
turbance was due to the utter incompe-
tency of the sergeant-at-arms and door-
keepers. Many unruly characters were
! given admission, and these afterward
became a source of trouble. The good-
natured firmness and impartiality of
Chairman Ross went far in the after-
noon toward maintaining order. The
neart was taken out of the fight of the
‘“antis’’ by the departure from town of
their leaders before the convention as-
sembled. Had these leaders remained
on the ground and directed the move-
ments of their followers, the ‘kicks’
would have been much more eftective.

Terrible Hotel Accident in New York.
New York, April 13.—The new
hotel Waldorf, under construction at
Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue,
was the scene of a terrible accident
this afternoon. George Pfeiffer, 67
years old,an iron worker,and his helper,
Rudolph Shelker, aged 45, were at work
on the iron cornice, Pfeiffer was put-
ting in an iron rivet when the cornice
gave way. He caught the leg of his
helper and the two men fell down-
wards. The two men’s bodies crushed
through a scaffolding on the third
floor as if it was so much paste board.
At the second floor Pfeiffer’s body went
through a one and one-half inch plank
to the pavement. Shelker’s body
struck the end ot the plank, broke it
off and bounded onto the street, where
it struck the mortar box and broke his
arm. The bodies were bruised out of
semblance of human beings.

Pritts, the Murder no Longer a Resi-
dent of Somerset County.
Left there Some ten Days ago. How He Manged
to Escape.
PrrTsBURG, April 12. A special to
an evening paper from Mt, Pleasant,
Pa., says: “Bill” Pritts, one of the
murderers of old man Hochstetler, has
gone from the mountain these ten days.
While the posse which left Somerset as;
night is scouring the region, the object
of the search is probably hundreds of
miles away. It will be remembered
that the murder was committed on Wed-
nesday, March 30. On the Friday fol.
lowing Jacob Santemever,who is a son-
in-law of Pritts, and who lives on Eagle |
street was at work inthe Moorewood
mines of the Southwest Coal and Coke
company when he received a messagn
calling him home. Securing a team
from Lemmon Bros., the liverymen, he
and his wife left for the mountains the
same afternoon. The following evening
shortly after dark Sutemeyer brought
the team back, and there is no doubt
that his companion was his tather-inlaw,
whom heleft at his Eagle street resi-
dence before he drove to the stable. The
window blinds had been drawn down
the day Mr. Santemeyer and wife lett and
were still in that position on Sunday
morning. An effort was made to secure
a barber to cut Pritt’s hair and shave
him, but after one artist sent for was not
found at home fear of exciting suspicion
seems to have kept the messenger from
looking for another and nothing was
done to disguise the fugitive except to
provide him with another suit of clothes.
Just about dark Sunday evening Pritts
and Santemeyer left the house and
walked down across the flelds to More-
wood, carrying a valise. They reached
the A shaft just as the heavy rain and
hail storm came up, and stood beneath
the tipple until the worst had passed. It
is not known where they went. although
1t is said Santemeyer borrowed $45
from his father, who lives at Morewood,
saying that he intended going west. The
clothes which Pritts left here have a spot
of blood on the right coat sleeve.
A Somerset dispateh says: “No tid-
ings have been received from the posse
of internal revenue officers and deputy
sheriffs who left last night for the moon-
shine district for the avowed purpose of
capturing Bill Pritts, a half dozen illeit
stills and fifteen or twenty members of
the Bill Miller’s band of moonshiners.
Sheriff Good had promised to return’at
noon and that he has not done so leads
to the belief that he has struck the
moonshiners’ trail.”

Many Lives Have Been Lost and Much Prop.
erty Destroyed.
St. Louis, April 12.—A special from
New Orleans says: The reported loss
of life and property by the floods on the
Tombigbee river has been confirmed.
The citizens of Loundes county, Miss.,
have petitioned Congressman All, their
representative, to ask the government
for aid as their own means are inade-
quate to the needs of the homeless peo-
ple. The losses of life are variously es-
timated at from fifty to 200. Losses of
live stock and crops are beyend compu-
tation at present, but will be enormous.

HUNDREDS OF LIVES LuST.
St Lours, Mo., April 12.—-A special
from Nashville, Tenn., says the appall-
ing character of the floods in northern
Mississippi is just beginning to be real-
ized. Hundreds of lives have been lost.
Last night one man rowed several miles
in the darkness on a raft with twenty-
six bodies that he picked up. The flood
came so suddenly that none were pre-
pared. Sixteen small streams in north-
ern Mississippi became raging torrents
within a few hours and swelled the al-
ready {ull banks of the Coosa and Tom-
bigbee rivers into inland seas. All sorts
of crafts are being improvised to go to
the rescue of survivors who are perish-
ing on the highest ground without food
or shelter. The loss ot property is in-
calculable at present. There is exag-
geration, however, in the statement that
it will be over $1,000,000.

An Excellent Road Law.
The Governor of New Jersey has
signed the Davidson Road bill, which
puts 1t in the power of County Boards
of Freeholders to contract, under certain
specific regulations, for the construction
of Macadamized roads. Provision is
made for thorough supervision and for
substantial work. But no more is to be
done in any single year than may be
paid for by a tax of one-half of one per
cent. on the taxable property in each
county. One-third of the cost of roads
so constructed is to be paid each year by
the State, not to exceed the sum of $75,-
000 ; if one-third of the cost shall ex-
ceed that amount the excess is to be ap-
portioned among the counties in propor-
tion: to the amount of work done. On
petition of two-thirds of the real estate
owners fronting on any public road, set-
ting forth their willingness to pay 10
percent. of the cost of macadamized
roadways not less than a mile in extent,
the freeholders are compelled to pro-
vide for the construction asked for.
Good results are anticipated from the
operation of this law giving the initia-
tive of expenditure to the people most
actively interested and securing for the
work a certain fixed sum from county
and State funds on the principle that
the first petitioners shall be first served,
and that outlay in any single year shall
not be so excessivs as” to be oneroud®—

HoLLIDAYSBURG BRrutks. — From
the Standard we clip the following ac-
count of three brutal burglars who tor-
tured an old man and woman nearly to
death. It was a dastardly deed and the
fiends should be strung up.
“Saturday night three masked burg-
lars entered the house of John Daly, a
65-year-old veteran, and demanded bis
pension money. He protested that he
had no money. Getting no confession
they stabbed him repeatedly with a
knife, and after burning one of his ears
almost off with a lamp, ended by knock-
ing him senseless and ransacking the
house. During the search they chopped
holes in the floor and tora the plastering
from the walls, but secured nothing.
Leaving Mr. Daly, they went to the
home of Miss Oliva McDowell, an aged
maiden lady, and, dragging ‘her from
bed, tortured her almost to death, de-
manding money, which she denied hav-
ing- Knives were ran into her ears and
face, while a blow from a revolver elos-
ed one eye. Finally the fiends tied her-
to a bed post and deliberatelly set to.
work to destroy all the furniture in the.
house, a task in which they well suc-
ceeded. They then departed with $6,
